"Eighteen generations of ancestors! I have to find out how many times her grandmother peed the bed!"
Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
She wanted to know how brave this person named Liu Qingfang was to dare to dislike her Mr. Ning.
"Yes, it may be troublesome to investigate this matter. Miss, please move to the small island in the middle of the lake and wait for a while."
Juxiang didn't want her young lady to be so angry that she couldn't eat because of a woman.
otherwise.
She would personally go to the Liu family's ancestral grave to take the Liu family's ancestors out of their coffins, and instead have a good talk about the upbringing of the Liu family's descendants.
…
After Shen Youchu and his master and servant left, Ning Wuhuang organized all the newly purchased items and counted the money on his body.
"There are still forty taels left."
Once the still is ready, all that's left is to pick flowers, buy wine and bottles.
Due to the immature glass-making technology, a delicate glass bottle cannot be purchased for forty taels, and it is impossible for his current small workshop to expand the production scale to make glass.
We can only settle for the next best thing and use high-quality and low-priced porcelain bottles first.
Trial production is naturally risky. No matter what happens, there is only a thin line between failure and success.
For the first trial, he planned to make ten bottles.
"Forty taels are still not used up. You can buy some meat for the rest to supplement your nutrition."
In order to make a fool of herself in front of Liu Qingfang, I used all my limited money to buy random gifts. However, the income of the medical clinic was decreasing day by day, so I could only live frugally.
As a result, although the explosive power of strength is not small, the stamina is insufficient.
However, there is no need to spend money on dinner today, you can go to Ning's house to eat.
Ning Wuhou locked the door, and as soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw Lidong running towards him.
"Fifth Young Master, have you finished your work? Third Young Master has successfully landed on the island in the middle of the lake. Second Master asked the younger one to call you home for dinner!"
Lidong's tone was more respectful than before.
Even though the Third Young Master didn't let him tell the Master and the others that the Fifth Young Master was a Shixian, Lidong knew that the Third Young Master landed on the island in the middle of the lake because of the Fifth Young Master's glory.
The Fifth Young Master is completely different now from before, and his future is limitless!
Maybe the restoration of the Ning family will depend on the Fifth Young Master.
"I just finished my work and am about to go sit at home. Has grandpa sobered up?"
"I'm not awake. According to my usual habits, I should sleep until tomorrow morning. No one dares to disturb the old lady."
Ning Wuyan knew that his grandfather was a good drinker, so being so drunk must be because he had something on his mind.
Anyway, grandpa didn't worry about having nothing to eat when he woke up from hunger, so he felt relieved and followed Lidong back to Ning's house.
Although the Ning family is not rich, they still have a large courtyard with three entrances.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see the hall for receiving guests.
Go back.
On the left is the place leading to the uncle's courtyard. The road is planted with vigorous pines and cypresses, decorated with plum blossom piles.
On the right side is a fake lake dug out, dotted with clusters of water lilies. In early summer, although there are only a few white lotuses blooming in buds, there is a sense of leisure and elegance.
Just by looking at the furnishings on the left and right, you can tell the difference in preferences between the eldest uncle's family and the second uncle's family.
The uncle liked martial arts and inherited Ning Feng's brave and aggressive character. Now he serves as a grain and grass officer at the garrison in Jinling. Although he has no rank, he has the protection of his ancestors. Coupled with his bold personality, he is able to enjoy it.
The second uncle also liked martial arts, but he did not catch up with the good times. In addition, he married a noble lady from a scholarly family, so he could only float in the civil service. After working hard for five years and becoming a scholar, he donated a government office. A ninth-grade official.
"Third brother landed on the island in the middle of the lake today. Second aunt must be very happy."
When Ning Wuyan walked past the waterside pavilion and came to the large courtyard of the second room, a large round table that could accommodate ten people had been set up in the courtyard.
Because the eldest brother from the eldest uncle's family and the second brother from the second uncle's family were on business, the fourth brother from the second uncle's family was studying abroad and did not come back in time. Only two cousins, one cousin and two uncles and aunts were present.
There were not many people, and there were no separate tables for men and women.
At this time, the two cousins were sitting on the stone benches in the pavilion next to them, holding copied poems in their hands and reading aloud.
"The light of weeping dew is slanted and slanted, with wind and shadows slanting on it. The layman explains this by looking at the leaves rather than the flowers."
The second cousin of the second uncle's family, Ning Zhixia, finished reading in a mellow tone, staring at the orchids in the flowers, unable to return to her senses for a long time.
Ning Zhixue, the eldest cousin of the uncle's family, said with a look of fascination: "Second sister, I think that poetry immortal must be an immortal who lives in seclusion in the valley, so he can write such elegant poems."
Ning Wuyan thought they were chatting happily, but after listening closely, he lost interest.
Seeing a plate of glutinous rice cakes in front of his ten-year-old third cousin Ning Zhifeng, he reached out and took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Sweet to the teeth.
"Third sister, you are changing your teeth. Don't eat so sweet. Be careful that your teeth grow crooked and turn into big buck teeth. It won't look good then."
Due to his innocent nature, apart from his third brother Ning Wusha, he could only talk to his younger third sister.
Ning Wuhuang had absolutely no resistance to the cute and kind-hearted little girl.
What else can be done? Keep pampering.
But today when the third sister heard what he said, she rolled her eyes at him, picked up the glutinous rice cake and got into the eldest aunt's arms, running and shouting: "Fifth brother, you are such a fool, spending so much money to buy fake medicine, they said I If you keep playing with fools, you will become stupid!"
"..."
Ning Wuyang laughed dumbly and didn't care about the child's childlike words.
After all, what I did was really stupid, and I wasn’t afraid of what others would say.
On the other hand, when the eldest aunt Ning Yang heard this, her face turned dark. She pushed Ning Zhifeng away, grabbed the plate with force and threw it on the table with a bang, looking sharply at the maids next to her.
"Who is gossiping in front of the third lady again? You can discuss the master's family affairs casually? Take care of all the third lady's mouth today!"
Ning Yang has a really cool personality, and he is always vigorous and resolute. When he roars with a loud voice, he can compete with Ning Feng.
As a result, the original person would turn into a quail when he saw her, shrinking in fear, but failed to carefully appreciate the daily protection of his eldest aunt.
None of the other three elders at the table stopped him. On the contrary, Uncle Ning patted the seat next to Ning Wuyan.
"It's okay, come quickly, I'm waiting for you."
"I've kept everyone waiting for a long time." Ning Wuyang smiled and said congratulations to the second uncle: "Congratulations to the second uncle and second aunt. All these years of hard work have led to today's joy."
His elegant and generous performance made everyone present stunned for a moment, and then all looked surprised.
Even the two cousins who had just ignored him to discuss the poems written by Shixian also cast inquiring glances.
The second uncle even gave a thumbs up: "I heard that your enlightenment is different from before. I thought this kid was daydreaming, but I didn't expect that after just a blink of an eye, he actually spoke more fluently than before, and he became more personable than before. Energetic."
"Second uncle, it's the same today...Second uncle, why is your face so dark?"
When Ning Wuyang saw that the second uncle's complexion was slightly dark, and there was unwashed ink under his earlobes and on his neck, he swallowed back the compliments he exchanged.
Who seems to have poured this on?
His eyes fell on the delicate and elegant face of his second aunt Ning Zhang and he quickly looked away.
It couldn't have been done by my second aunt.
"Haha, I accidentally knocked over the inkstone and splashed ink on my body when I was running an errand. I was so happy when I heard the news about my safe landing on the island that I didn't have time to wash it off."
Uncle Ning raised his sleeve and wiped it vigorously, lowering his head to hide the embarrassment on his face.
Actually.
It was Ye Tongpan who didn't know what was wrong, so he picked out some unnecessary mistakes in him. Either he wrote the wrong word in the official document or used the wrong word.
He took the opportunity to splash ink all over him, and deliberately mocked him in front of his colleagues, asking him to drink more ink.
He was so angry that he almost picked up the inkstone and smashed the face of Ye Tongpuan, a villain who had succeeded.
It's a pity that the first level of official rank is overwhelming, not to mention that Ye Tong is judged to be the sixth rank, and he is the ninth rank minor official. With so many ranks higher, that is a gap that cannot be surpassed in a lifetime.
In addition, Ning Ye's family is a close relative, and he doesn't want to make it difficult for his nephew Wu Wei to be a good person in the future.
Fortunately, today Wuyou was able to help him. No matter how difficult the job was, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, pave the way for his son, and let his son step on his shoulders and move up.
Thinking of his son landing on the small island in the middle of the lake and meeting noble people, Erbo Ning couldn't help but think: It would be great if he could get the attention of Master Jiang, the prefect of Jiang, but it was a pity that the Ning family's connections were shallow and no one recommended him.
He could only think about it.
Ning Wuhuang felt that his second uncle seemed to have something on his mind. Just as he was about to ask, the maids began to slap themselves, interrupting his train of thought.
At this time, the second aunt had also placed his favorite food in front of him, and she did not forget to teach her.
"Since Wu Hao has become enlightened, I will calm down. When your third brother comes back, I will ask him to go to your medical clinic more often to teach you how to read and digit. I don't want to be named on the gold list, but I want to know how to do things and not be bullied by others." Don’t be deceived.”
